What? Whose personal behavior? This doesn't even make sense as a response to OP.
This player is a nuisance to other players, to the point that he caused an entire game to break and even prevented a new game from being formed by his mere presence. It's unfortunate that it's because he can't see and hear well, but there's only so much the casino can reasonably do to accommodate him.
"What's the board?"
"Ace-ten-eight with two hearts."
"Huh?"
"Ace-ten-eight, two hearts."
"Ace-two-ace with no hearts?"
"Ace-TEN-EIGHT. TWO hearts."
"So it's eight-ten-eight with two hearts?"
"No, sir, ACE-ten-eight. There are TWO hearts." (Add hand gesture for "two.")
"So ace-ten-two?"
Sound about right? If this is what was going on after EVERY new board card, there's no way the game can continue without some major change.
The most obvious change that would fix the problem would be to ask Mr. Magoo to leave. Of course, that might run afoul of some well-intentioned but myopic laws, so a more creative solution might be needed.
What about this? Instruct all your floor staff to simply avoid seating him. If he asks to be on a waiting list, pretend to put him on one and leave him to sit around waiting for nothing. It's not like he'll see the list. Keep telling him that his name was called but removed from the list because he never came to get his seat.
He should eventually get annoyed enough to leave the poker room, like he's caused so many other players to do.
